Ask HN: How are you all staying sane?
Let's start with the simplest: the AI - sometimes I feel like like ground is falling beneath my feet, no one can predict what can happen months in advance let alone years - the future is unknown. The Ukraine, the Iran, the Venezuela, Gaza/Palestine, Israel, Russia - the Taiwan! The conflicts seem distant, but yet so close. The US administration! No one can predict anything. Don't get me started on the Europe! The stock market! Are we in a bubble or not? Should I sell? Or just keep holding? Enshittification of tech. Everything is slow and buggy. Ads, ads and slop everywhere! The erosion of our rights just across the world. The Palantir's, the Flock's... I feel I have developed a strong pessimistic worldview. The world is going to shit. It feels frustrating and it feels like there's nothing you can do. So I just want to know: how are you all dealing with this all. How are you all staying sane? 3 comments on Hacker News.
